When you drink a Bloody Mary, or any “hair of the dog”, you are taking more alcohol, which takes the sting off it, and the tomato juice adds sugar and salt and water. In the past when I used to get hangovers, I would find that a couple of apples, a bag of salted peanuts and some Irn Bru put me to rights, those precise reasons.
Tomato being citric in nature is a remedy to cure the hangover (other citric food do work well for hangover cure, eg: lemon or curd). Also, the Vodka (normally) in a bloody mary mixes with alcohols still in your system or acts alone to produce a buzz which provides relief from headaches.

Basically, you’re getting a little drunk again in order to not feel the pain from your previous drunken state. 2. The high salt content helps you to retain water since you were previously dehydrated
Another ingredient in a Bloody Mary with hangover-expelling health benefits is lemon juice, which is essential to soothing your digestive tract and acting as a natural laxative. When alcohol enters your body, the digestive system immediately wants to get it out to try to minimize the amount absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
